Not the right ticket?
Maybe one of these offers will suit you:

  • Monthly pass education Regional tariff

    You are an apprentice and travel to your training place by train – not only in the region but beyond? In this case you should decide on a Monthly pass education Regional tariff. In doing so, you may not only use suburban and many regional trains – you can as well use all buses and trams within the GVH tariff area. Free customer card necessary.
  • Monthly pass education subscription Regional tariff

    You are an apprentice and reach your training place by train – not only in the region but beyond? In this case you should decide on a Monthly pass education subscription Regional tariff. In doing so, you can not only use suburban and many regional trains – you can as well use all buses and trams within the GVH tariff area. Please note that we also offer the Apprenticeship pass. This can be an inexpensive addition.
  • Apprenticeship pass subscription
